Streamlining Tablet Coating Manufacturing
By Quadro Engineering Corp.
A large international manufacturer of pharmaceutical tablets was experiencing problems with their tablet coating solution production process. The manufacturer employed a two-tank mixing system: one to produce a pigment solution, the other to produce a gum-based solution. In the pigment production tank, the pigment powders were added to the surface of the liquid and an in-tank high shear mixer was used to incorporate the powders into a solution. This process was dusty and created numerous environmental and health concerns.


Beyond Orifices For DP Flowrate Measurements
By Greg Livelli and Steve Pagano, ABB
While the orifice is the most common flowmeter restriction associated with differential pressure (DP) measurements, several others have found a solid place in process applications. Various designs of DP flowmeters provide for an optimum adaptation to the operating conditions and requirements of the user.
